Bad fats are saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats are mostly in meats, dairy products and tropical oils. Saturated fat raises both bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, while trans-fat only raises bad cholesterol. This makes trans fats technically worse than saturated fats. The better fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated will lower your cholesterol, and unlike polyunsaturated they do not lower your good cholesterol. Your best fats would be the omega-3s (fish oil). This fat has shown to protect people from sudden cardiac death (Schardt, 2002).…

According to the “Face the Fats” sections bad fats are considered saturated fats and trans fats. These fats will clog arteries and cause heart disease and heart attacks. These fats are often found in foods we enjoy to eat or that taste good. Fast food, deserts, and toppings that we place on foods are usually loaded in these types of foods. Better fats are monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. These are considered better fats due to the fact that they help reduce the risk of heart disease. Monounsaturated fats are fats that have double bonded carbon in their molecules and are usually liquid at room temperatures and become more solid when cooled or chilled. Polyunsaturated fats are fats that typically have more than one double bonded carbon in the molecule, and they are also liquid at room temperature but tend to become solid when chilled or cooled.…

Few factors have as much impact on an athlete’s performance as what they put into their body; their diet. While the human body is surprisingly tolerant to an unfavorable diet, which explains how we are surviving the mass availability of toxic foods, an athlete’s requirement is far different. The same concept applies to automobiles: the higher performance the engine, the higher quality fuel, or more octane, the car needs. Use lower quality gasoline, and the car will experience lower gas mileage, reduced performance, and even possibility of engine damage.…

My average calorie intake is at 5,090 while my target is at 2,800 calories per day. My daily average of calories was way too high, and I need to reduce my intake of so many calories.
